a little girl with a heart of gold instead of asking for birthday presents, she asked that people help children half a world away. tonight her life comes to a tragic end, but her legacy lives on. good evening, everyone. i'm don lemon in atlanta. we welcome our viewers tonight watching around the world. you're in the "cnn newsroom." >> tmz says this is the last time amy winehouse was on stage, three days ago in north london. she supported her 13-year-old goddaughter, an aspiring singer herself. tonight the world is mourning the singer blessed with a voice beyond her years but cursed with addictions that may have cut them short. london police say they do not know what killed the grammy

award winning singer. they found her today in her apartment. but many are speculating her death is connected to her substance abuse. "showbiz tonight's" kareen wynter joins us from los angeles. good evening to you. winehouse's father is now returning to london. >> over this tragic news, we just learned that her dad mitch winehouse, he got word of his daughter's death, listen to this, don, after he got word, he was in new york, he hopped on a plane back to the uk. it turns out mitch winehouse, the aspiring jazz singer was in new york at the time rehearsing friday with his band getting ready for his big debut here in the states. he canceled his upcoming show on monday and flew home with his manager who also managed his daughter. imagine that, mitch, a former cab driver turned singer flying home tonight to be closer to his daughter, don. >> celebrities have been mourning since the news broke. what have you been hearing? >> many stars, are sad she died so young. but i have to say, don, they are not totally surprised with winehouse's death with all of

her struggles with drugs and alcohol. listen to what a few had to say. >> the thing about addiction that i learned from playing a bunch of these guys that are addicts is that it's not wrong or bad to want to get out of the pain of mortality. that's what we're trying to do, and a lot of artists are just too sensitive for the world. >> yeah, i just heard about amy passing away today. i'm a big fan of her music. and i don't know her personally, but it's always tragic when someone goes. it's just sad. i mean, she's very well gifted and very talented. >> those were actors kellen lutz as well as val kilmer. kilmer interestingly played singer jim morrison in the film "the doors." remember that film? morrison like winehouse also died at the age of 27, but the big mystery in all of this right now is that police don't know how the singer died, if it had

anything to do with drugs, perhaps alcohol and won't put that piece of the puzzle together until they perform that autopsy which could come as early as tomorrow, don. >> do we know what led police to her body? >> well, you know, the circumstances, don are, still quite bizarre. paramedics found the body today in her london apartment. we've seen the eerie video of paramedics taking her covered body out on a stretcher and placed in a private ambulance. police got a call to head to a home which matched her address saturday afternoon in response to a woman found deceased. she was pronounced dead on the scene and don, today, an incredible scene outside the singer's home. hundreds of people from fans to police trying to contain that area. many fans were just shocked over this talented singer's short life, an international star who won a handful of grammys back in 2008 with that unforgettable

album "back to black." but her personal demons often overshadowed her talent. she was booed off a stage last month. she did a short stint in rehab after that performance where she checked in and checked right back out of rehab. it really was a story of the latter part of her life, a star with so much promise who had to battle personal demons in the public eye. one thing i want to add here is what our producer denise found out right before, interestingly enough, her 2007 worldwide breakthrough album "back to black," it's number one right now on amazon.com, as well as itunes. you can imagine all the amazing things that this troubled singer could have done in life if things hadn't ended so tragically. >> thank you, karine. >> just kind of stepped in and thought they were being the good guys by just stepping in and strong arming me into a rehabilitation center, but just didn't really need it. >> that was amy winehouse in

2007 just two months ago, the singer's staff issued a statement saying they were doing everything they could to "return her to her best" after she cut short her european tour. celebrity addicts often don't give themselves enough time to recover according to dr. drew from our sister network hln. >> when an opiate addict goes into treatment, it takes months to years to treat. one of the most risks to that recovery for celebrities and in particular musicians is that they return to the career, return to the road far too prematurely and it is absolutely predictable what will happen. the fact is, you know, funny thing, people look at these stories and go addiction treatment doesn't work. the crazy thing about addiction is part of the disease is a disturbance of thinking where the addict themselves convinces themselves that they don't need to listen to or do what they're being told to do. if they will do the recovery process on a daily basis, just simply do it, they will be fine just the way a diabetic is fine.

>> again, police say that winehouse's death is unexplained. i found the ocean and started swimming. >> reporter: was he shooting at you in the ocean? >> yes. it didn't hit. >> reporter: were people around you hit? >> yes. that young man escaped with his life, but so many others did not. at least 92 people dead, 85 of them at a youth camp and seven in the capital oslo. so far one man arrested and charged in both attacks identified by local media as anders bearing breivik, described as a right-winger and christian fundamentalist, but police are now saying they have not ruled out the possibility that others were involved. a man who identified himself as his attorney spoke to broadcaster tv 2. he says breivik believes the terrorist attacks were horrible

but "in his head, they were necessary." that attorney promises breivik will explain himself at a hearing on monday. the accounts from the youth camp and utoya are chilling. witnesses say a man showed up in a police uniform reportedly he asked the campers to gather around and started firing with a machine pistol because the camp is run by norway's ruling labor party, investigators believe this attack could have been politically motivated. the camp attack followed a car bombing outside of a government building not far away in oslo. a witness saw breivik buyism tons of fertilizener may. that material may be used to make bombs. from norway's prime minister, in this was more than an assault against his country as jim bolden reports, he has a very personal connection to the tragedy. >> reporter: in an early morning press conference, the prime minister said he feared he would know some of the young people killed on the island. he visited every year since 1974. >> it's special havoc and difficult when it's people i

know. and i know quite a few of those who lost their lives. i know their parents or several others who lost their lives. and this happened at a place where i and my -- became politically active and i said earlier today that it was a paradise for youngsters, and yesterday, it turned into a hell. >> reporter: the prime minister called a meeting of his cabinet saturday. there were a number of government buildings badly damaged friday. the prime minister called on all norwegians to do what they can to aid those affected by the biggest one day of killing in the country since the world war ii. >> for some of the victims, it was over before they knew what was happening. others were hunted. the gunman taking his time, stalking them down and the survivors as diana mcnail reports are still fighting through their shock. >> reporter: young survivors sob in each other's arms.

the prime minister tries to console the inconsolable. as police and the red cross continued their search for the dead, those who survived tell of the horror they witnessed. the killing spree where a lone gunman was able to fire for 90 minutes, unchecked. >> he seemed calm and seemed like he was just taking photos when he was shooting people. >> reporter: what was he wearing? >> he was wearing fake police uniform. >> reporter: and his expression, was it blank? >> yes, completely blank. >> reporter: and what was he shouting? >> come back. >> reporter: come back to those swimming for their lives as he fired in their wake. many were hit.

boats now troll the water for their bodies. for others the water was the only place to hide. >> i started swimming onto the fjords and got halfway and got cramps because i have been laying so long in the water so i got some of the locals saved my life with. >> reporter: so you hid in the water? >> yes, because all of the other places were full of people. >> reporter: hundreds of young people had gathered here for a political summer camp, a tradition of the ruling labor party which the prime minister attended in his youth. >> translator: what was my youth paradise has been turned into a hell for all of the people that were involved yesterday. it has made a major impression in the meetings, to meet the people that survived and the people that got ashore. >> reporter: young people determined not to let this nightmare break them. >> it's important that we stay together and keep strong. we can't let a coward like that stop us. because going on to an island with only youth and killing them and they have no way to escape, that's a cowardless act. >> reporter: diana magnay, cnn,

♪ sometime i go out by myself >> amy winehouse in what turned out to be one of her last public performances, stumbling, slurring, this was supposed to be the start of her big european comeback tour in serbia. instead she canceled all shows after that. now we are left with that as a final image of a great, but profoundly troubled talent. earlier i spoke with moreen o'connor from gawker.com, a site that followed winehouse's ups and downs for years now. >> amy had been hospitalized many times for both overdoses and for falling down, for fainting, for things that signaled in her 20s, she was

medically compromised. she had two confirmed stints in rehab. multiple times she said she wases in various forms of addiction treatment. after "back to black" in 2006, she pretty much couldn't hold a job, had to cancel concerts all the time, was supposed to be working on music and albums and it never quite happened. for anyone that's known an addict, it felt uncomfortably familiar, this person is talented and couldn't hold it together. she was arrested five times over the course of the last five years of her life for drug-related charges, for getting into fights and assaults. and it's really sort of the portrait of somebody who bounces back and forth between rehab, between police stations, between toxic relationships in the last few years of her life. >> we're showing this video from the sun which supposedly shows her smoking and heating up a pipe there. we can imagine what she would only be smoking if this is indeed true. then just weeks later, or days later, she ended up in rehab after this video surfaced. is this how she's going to be remembered? i hope not. >> you know, i hope not, too. but this sadly, it was the last five years of her life she spent more time in the public eye

doing things like this than she did in the public eye producing music, which i think is a great tragedy. and i guess that's the toll that addiction takes on people. after this incident with the video actually, she was questioned by police under suspicion of using crack cocaine but actually they ended up not charging her for this because the evidence wasn't strong enough. it's sort of that life on the cusp of completely falling apart for a really long time. >> is this a lesson for young people and famous people? >> you know, i think we've seen a lot of people sort of over the years all kinds of people from years ago, kurt cobane, jimmy hendrix and today, lindsay lohan was just back in court this week and reprimanded by the judge because of a progress report for her probation, and with these example, it is hard to know whether it is the fame that feeds and enables these people or whether we are just seeing what regular old addiction is

but on a global scale and instead of a handful of family and loved ones seeing an addict fall apart and the entire world seeing them all of the sudden. >> moreen, i appreciate your honesty and candor about this, and hopefully a lot of people will learn a lesson. moreen o'connor from gawker.com. amy winehouse was 27 years old. many noticed troubled stars died at the same age. shanon cook looked into what's being called the 27 club. >> there's this unofficial thing called the 27 club, which in order to be in this club, you have to die at the age of 27 as a famous musician. you know, kurt cobane was 27 when he died. jimmy hendrix, janice joplin, jim morrison and now amy winehouse. of course, you have some people think there's a cultish connection here. but it's important to realize that many, many musicians have died and they weren't 27 at the time.

but you know, perhaps there's something to it. you know, perhaps by the time these young stars reach this age, they're burnt out from all the touring, from the hard living, from the drain of the spotlight, but i think that more than likely, it's just coincidence, don. >> because there were a number of singers who died at 21. maybe the most famous dress on the planet, the duchess of cambridge's wedding dress. we'll tell you where you can see it now. it's a very prominent place, by the way.

and one of the people you saw in that report was ryan meeks. he is the founding pastor at rachel's church, the east lake community church. pastor meeks, thanks for joining us now. how is the family? >> well, they're what you would expect, you know, they're mourning the loss of a beautiful young girl. at the same time, they're hope in jesus gives them something to live for beyond this and hope to see her soon. of course, the great story that life is coming out of this death with rachel's generosity. it's inspired many, and it's been amazing over the last 24 hours i think. now she's gone from i think $220 to over $23,000 raised for clean water. >> at such a young age, 9 years old, where does that sort of compassion come from? that sort of awareness about the world? >> well, you know, we've had an ongoing partnership in with charity water, the organization

that is 100% model where 100% of every cent goes to water projects around the world and she got to hear and listen to the founder, a friend of mine, scott harrison speak at our church awhile ago and like many others was inspired to do what she could do. and for a 9-year-old kid, a huge step of faith would be to say hey, for my birthday, i don't want anything. give to those who are in greater need. not everyone's that mature even at 90, and yet, here she is modeling for us at the age of 9 how to live that kind of life. >> looking at your picture, you can see you're at least 20, 30 years old. did she teach you as someone who i'm sure you consider yourself a worldly person. did she teach you something about life and the human spirit? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, everyone is certainly encouraged and inspired by her story.

family members who knew her the best are the ones who certainly learn the most from as they pour out their hearts and the young girl they got to live with and love and they all say the same thing about her, just an overwhelming heart of compassion and selflessness and she continues to inspire many through this campaign as it continues. >> all right. pastor ryan meeks, we appreciate it. best of luck to you and to the family, please tell them that we are thinking about them, okay? >> will do, thanks. >> we will look at some of the interesting news items that you may have missed this week, because it's been a busy news week. a snarling leopard went on a frightening rampage in an indian village and attacked 11 people, including several forest guards who were mauled. villagers used knives, stones and sticks tov drive back the cat. it reportedly died after being subdued with a tranquilizer gun.

the pentagon just officially repealed "don't ask, don't tell" permitting openly gay people to serve. it is a major military milestone especially for veterans like jonathan hopkins who was a former army captain who was victimized by the policy. he learned three bronze stars, but he was discharged after someone outed him and now serves as a member of outserve, a group for openly gay military men and women. i spoke to him about the

military's future now that don't ask, don't tell is no more. >> do you see a parallel here between integrating the military between among races and also now among gay people and straight people? >> i definitely see a parallel in getting to a state of mutual understanding and just basically making decisions based off of facts instead of stereotypes. where i think that this is going to be different is that we are much further along when it comes to acceptance of gays and lesbians now today than we were in 1947 when marry truman ended or started the end of segregation by executive order. >> real quickly here, jonathan, is it generational? yes or no. >> say explain that. >> is it generational? do you think younger people in the military are more accepting? >> totally. the most concerned people are the senior personnel in the military. >> would you be reinstated? would you want to be? >> i think there's a lot of different ways i can serve my country. i will explore those before i make a decision whether i go back in.

and the woman's millionaire boyfriend. his son later died from the injuries. shacknai says he was not there when the woman died and what happened to her is still a mystery. >> in this case suicide and homicide at times can look very, very similar and it is important to take your time and process that evidence and usually the evidence will solve the mystery. >> but zahel's sister is telling people she doesn't believe rebecca would take her own life and told a cnn affiliate my sister was not depressed. my sister was not frantic. my sister was planning to call my parents the next day and planning to keep me posted about max, the next day. it's a sentiment other people who knew the victim also tell cnn. more than 15 detectives are working on the case, and officials say they are taking the accounts of people who knew her very seriously. as for max's death, police are preliminarily calling it an accident but say it's definitely part of the equation when

considering zahel. >> anytime there is a death, we look at victimology. what happened days before, weeks before, even months before. so max's case would be of interest to us. >> arizona police records show a rocky relationship between jonah shacknai and max's mother dina, with both filing domestic disturbance reports in 2008 and 2009. but the two issued a statement monday down playing those records saying, while our marriage did not work out as either of us had hoped, it did produce a wonderful son max who both of us loved very much. his loss is unimaginable." local law enforcement officials says they're waiting for what could be the missing pieces to this puzzle, the forensic reports, and that could take a matter of weeks. sandra endo, cnn, coronado, california. >> all right. sandra. up next nerd heaven. have you heard of comic-con?
